12 Fruit Machines AWP £5-£250 Jackpot on eBay (end time 24-Jul-09 22:46:03 BST)

The seller wont let you bid unless you are licensed., thought id post it here as i know there are a couple of operators here.

Can't imagine any licenced companies wanting that stuff. It's all very old.

[voodoomau5]

the only one i'd have out of thatr lot is colossus, the rest can burn.


and yeah what is an operator gunna do with an around the town, can't see wetherspoons gagging for one of them

[gambogaz1]

Not exactly the greatest description of his items.
Fight night Club I think??
About 10 are working?? well either 10 are working or not.
Be amazed if any operator buys that unless they need some of the parts.

well, its still a bargain. doesnt look like its had any attention, its worth a bid even if you dont wan't them as they can be sold on.. well hopefully if they dont sell he will put them up each in their own auction so i can snap up the cops and robbers.

Cor! About time Weatherspoons did get some Go Round Towns in, I think it'd be a damn sight more fun belting out 'Any old iron' into an invisible microphone for £5.20 of tokens, than trying to work out if it's the £3 box or the Mega Streak.


I'm tempted to bid anyway, just a low bid and put my operator licence number as 5. Do you think that might work?

The Blue Cops 'N Robbers, and the Around The Town - in full working order and good condition - are worth some decent money.

Tutti Fruity and Fight Night club may also be worth a few quid.

The rest? It's outdated MPU5 junk. In a job lot like that, they are worth no more than £25/£30 a piece.

Altogether? I'd say it's worth about £300/£400, and that's probably being generous - and that also implies you have the ability to repair / workshop them and pass them on - very few people would want aging MPU5 on site these days.

How much would you say the Cops 'n Robbers would be worth Ben?

I was offerred a C 'n R (£6 token jackpot iirc) from a mate of a mate of a mate down in London for £50. Supposedly in good, fully working condition. I had recently acquired a £5 Flashback and wasn't overly keen on two machines in the house due to space restrictions.

On the same topic (sort of), how much would a £5 jackpot Flashback (Epoch) be worth with a new Epoch main board (+battery) fitted, reconditioned PSU, switchable stake/prize key + switchable % key. £5 decals only. Currently 20p £5 C 94% payout.

Minor detatchment of decals in a couple of corners, but nothing serious.

Spider's web in the far corner near the cashbox with pet spider and no lock assembly on cashbox door, just the clasp to fit a padlock.

Fully working and bulbed, just that missing lock. Front opening door locks. Also front speaker wire needs soldering, one of those little jobs that never gets done, but sound works anyway, but if the machine were to fall off a cliff, then the failure to solder the speaker wire could be a problem. Hmmmmm.


I ask because when I float over the AWPs for sale on Ebay, the prices seem to fluctuate wildly for similar products. I guess like most auctions there's an element of pot luck. I've seen a MPU3 Line up go for a four figure sum and the old one armed bandits seem to fetch a bit of cash.

I also got offerred a spACE machine a few weeks back for next to nothing, but space restrictions again. No pun intended.

I also missed a Money to Burn 1K jackpot machine go for about £20 on Ebay, forgot to check back for the auction, now that would be worth making space for....great machine, not sure I'd want to float it with 1K and leave it in the house though.
